Framework: ‘There is a very real scenario in which personal computing as we know it is dead’
Framework, the PC hardware company founded by Nirav Patel, is hosting a “Next Gen” launch event on April 21, accompanied by a manifesto addressing the state of the personal computing industry. Patel stated that he founded the company “specifically to reset and fix a broken industry,” positioning Framework as a counterpoint to existing market practices. The announcement comes amid concerns about a memory crisis affecting PC hardware development and broader questions about the future of personal computing itself. According to Patel, there exists “a very real scenario in which personal computing as we know it is dead,” suggesting significant structural challenges in the industry that Framework aims to address through its product approach and philosophy.
